What reading level is Confessions of a book Lover book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Perhaps that is why my friend's volume still rests on my shelves. And perchance herein may rest an explanation of the heartless manner in which my friend has held fast to my treasured volume of Cowper's poems.
It is, I say, to be feared that designers of book- plates have sacrificed the primary aim of their calling to the elaboration of playful fancies. From the very birth of the bookplate the fault seems to have been present. I am told that the earliest specimens date back to 15 16, and on the... Continent, notably in Germany, even earlier than that. Far back into the ages must we travel to find the first ' THE CULT OF THE BOOKPLATE ' 87 offenders. Let the interested book-lover examine the ancient examples presented in 1574 by Sir Nicholas Bacon to the University of Cambridge. He will then see pretty clearly how the war has been waged between the pictorial and the practical, and how, all along the line, the victory has been with the former. And what wonder with such mighty craftsmen as Albrecht Durer, Lucas Cranach, and Hans Holbein to wield the steel point of the en- graver !
